That's going to be a great looking color combination.

Looking great. That quarter panel looks a mile long in primer.

Looking good...four-ish years into one myself. Hoping to be in epoxy and high build in the next few months. Keep at it - there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Have one blocked and it seems pretty close. Back when I first did it I deemed it done but my ability and tolerance have changed with experience. Will need a little more filler work but not much.
You might see my reason for living (my granddaughter) in the background.
